Hi everyone! I am post op day 10 status post my 2nd revision(3rdsurgery)
Sept. 25, 2013 - first surgery - acetabular component listening post op day 12
oct. 5, 2013 - first revision - long post op recovery 8 month recovery - lost 1.5-2.0 cm leg length- regained my strength , had significant abduction weakness.
2019 I started to experience pain in my groin and buttocks. X-ray was performed in Dec2019 and the acetabular component had shifted almost to transverse location. My pain got so severe in I was on Percocet daily so I could walk and sleep. I immediately scheduled a consult with my Ortho from the first revision, he suggested a triflange acetabular component revision.
I was immediately set up for a 3-D CT scan so I could have a custom implant constructed to fit the specifications of my right hip.
Needless to say, I underwent my second revision on Aug. 18, 2020.
Post- operative course - I was strictly told I had to use a walker with minimal bearing weight on my right leg. I am feeling actually pretty good. Pain is off and on and I am managing my pain with oxycodone 5 mgs, and Tylenol. Sorry for the rambling on, but if any one out there has had the same revision let me know.
I am praying I will regain my flexibility in the future and continue to dance again in the near future! Here is my post op pic! And below preop picture! Any input would help!
